017 | wash this blood off my hand

[archivy]

Lady does not like the smell of blood and neither do I. I am leaving her in my room until midnight so she will not have to bear it.

... I believe this curse includes indirect responsibility as well as directly killing another person when it comes to determining the amount of blood we are cursed with.

Most animals are pretty keen on keeping away from the smell if they don't think it means prey.

I do believe that even if she considered it prey, the smell in the apartment at the moment would be too overpowering for her.

You and Kincaid both cursed?

[archivy]

Yes. Though Kincaid is more fully covered in blood than I am. Are you affected as well?

Makes sense.

[archivy]

I do not think that the number of killings I was directly responsible for would lead to this amount of blood. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that the City also counts every time I have ordered you to kill.

[notexactlyhuman]

Explains how you got so covered.

[archivy]

That is exactly my point.

Lady is going to stay with Anita so she will not have to bear the smell of blood.
